Test2::...::Error(3)

💖 Test2::...::Error(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a User Contributed Perl Documentation page (that's the manual name, iykyk ✨) and it's all about one tiny but iconic facet — Test2::EventFacet::Error.

---

✨ NAME ✨

Test2::EventFacet::Error — the facet for errors that need to be shown. literally its whole job 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. when an event needs to convey errors, this is the facet that carries them. that's it, that's the vibe 🎀

🌸 NOTES 🌸

heads up bestie, this facet lowkey has a little quirk:

• it has the hash key 'errors'
• and it's a list of facets, not a single item 👑

so like, plural. multiple. a whole little squad of error facets. don't come for me, that's just how it is 🫶

💅 FIELDS 💅

okay these are the actual fields, and they each have a hash key AND a method accessor, because why choose 🤷‍♀️

• $string = $error->{details}
• $string = $error->details()

this is the explanation of the error, or the error itself (like, an exception, say). and here's the tea: in perl, exceptions may be blessed objects, so this field may contain a blessed object. so don't freak out if it's not a plain string, that's valid 🧚

• $short_string = $error->{tag}
• $short_string = $error->tag()

a short tag to categorize the error. it's usually 10 characters or less, and formatters may truncate longer tags — so keep it snappy, bestie ✂️

• $bool = $error->{fail}
• $bool = $error->fail()

not all errors are fatal, okay?? some are displayed having already been handled. set this to true if you want the error to cause the test to fail. without this, the error is simply a diagnostics message that has no effect on the overall pass/fail result. so like, it's just vibes at that point, it doesn't actually weigh in on the score 🌈
